Interim Recruitment Specialist (Contract)

Job Description Senior/Principal Contract Recruitment Consultant Tech | Founding US Team \n Location: Manchester (hybrid), working US hours with regular travel to the US \n Up to £50,000 (depending on level/experience) + uncapped commission (12 runners means you earn £139k) + industry-leading training & perks \n Join Xpertise, one of the UK's most respected and award-winning Technology, Data & Transformation Recruitment businesses, and help us build our US contract desk from the ground up. \And, rarer still, the chance to help build something new. \Off the back of a string of high-profile US client wins, we're expanding our Atlanta-connected US desk from our Manchester office, and we want a Principal Consultant to help lead it. You'll work alongside some of the most experienced directors in tech recruitment, on a desk whose story is still being written. Why the US desk, why now \n The US tech recruitment market is worth $200bn+ and is growing faster than almost anywhere else in the world. It's a high-margin, high-growth market, and we're building our presence in it early. You'll be placing in-demand tech contractors and interim specialists with US clients who need skilled people quickly, which means fast-moving deals, repeat business and relationships that keep paying off. We work relationship first, from the C-suite down, and we win business through the tech community rather than volume cold calling. Our leadership team has met more than 6,500 C-suite contacts, so when someone in our network lands a new role, we usually get the call, and then everything else that flows down the chain. We hold terms with over 350 UK businesses, have placed 700+ contractors in five years, and work with 10 clients on an exclusive or trusted-partner basis, up from 2 last year. That reputation, network and contract Back Office now sit behind our US desk too. \n Clients worth building a career on. FTSE-listed businesses, major transformation programmes, companies in rapid growth and a growing list of high-profile US clients. We're on target to smash our net profit target this year, with net fees running 28% ahead of budget. We have significant net assets and we reinvest: profit goes back into our people, our technology and our growth, which is rarer in recruitment than it should be. \Our share scheme gives the people who grow Xpertise a real stake in its success and is designed to deliver £100-200k payouts for many of our people in 2030 at this level. \n A true team, where people excel. Everyone here has a voice, everyone is free to be themselves, and everyone, directors included, is on hand to help. Our directors, including Jason Rai, Julian Harrison, Andrew Scholes, Phil Brindley, Richard Deas and Richard Harrison, are hands-on, in the office and in front of clients, and passionate about this business and the people in it. Our US practice is co-led by Richard and Julian, so you'll be coached and mentored by directors with decades of combined experience in tech recruitment, in the UK and now the US, with direct access to them and a voice in where we go next. \A state-of-the-art AI-native CRM that saves significant admin time, plus your own Claude AI licence and premium LinkedIn licence.
